Sure. Before I get into that, I might suggest the DeMoronizer, if your problem is mostly with Word characters sneaking in.
The regular expression for something that starts with a pound sign and ends with a semicolon with only letters or numbers could look like one of the following: ##\w; ##[a-zA-Z0-9]; ##[[:alnum:]]##; Personally, I prefer the second one -- it seems the most readable to me -- but feel free to choose what seems best. YMMV, untested, etc. --Ben Doom Smith, Daron [PA] wrote: > I want to do a reg ex replace to remove all special text characters from > an XML feed, I"ve been doing > <cfset Desc = Replace(Desc, '&##160;', "", "ALL" )> but I keep finding > more characters to replace so my list is getting longer, can I do some > sort of regex find and replace any string that starts with an & and ends > with a ; ? > > Any help would be appreciated. > > Daron Smith > > "PSEA E-mail Firewall" annotation on Tue Aug 28 2007 15:52:05 > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > NOTICE: Only the individual sender is responsible for the content of the > message, and the message does not necessarily reflect the position or policy > of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287333 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
